Typical attempt to slam an article without actually reading it. Notably, from the article:
A customers’ committee would have no legal standing. Frequent-flier miles, after all, are not real currency, so members of American’s AAdvantage program are not creditors in bankruptcy court. But the airline does not exist or persist without its frequent travelers, and many of the people involved in the bankruptcy conversation seem to be taking their loyalty for granted.
So the article is just saying customers should just get together and make their voices heard, not that they should have any special powers.
